Trip to Parakai

Yay I can't wait to go to  Parakai pools  with my holiday program.We went on the bus to Parakai pool and chatted like magpies. When we got there we went inside the pool which was warm and relaxing. After that we went to the tent to have morning tea.

Then the supervisor told us that the out door pool were closed till the next half an hour because they were cleaning the pools.Next the supervisor told us that we are gonna go in the indoor pool.The indoor pool was hot like water to boil eggs.I now know what crayfish feel like in the pot.It was even hotter in  the spa pool. When I got into the hot pool my hair was full of sweat.After that we heard a call from the life guard,they told us that the outdoor pool is now open. We ran like a herd of horses towards the pool.It was a great day.

How the kiwi lost it wings

One day,Tanemahuta was walking through the forest.He looked  up to see that his children were reaching for the sky.He noticed that they were getting sick because the bugs were eating them.

His brother Tanehokahoka called all his children,the birds of the air together.Tanemahuta told them that something was eating his children. He needed someone to come down and live on the floor and look after them.The birds didn’t reply to him. All of the birds were quiet except the Kiwi.

Tui looked up at the fiery hot  sun and looked down at the dark damp forest floor. Tui did not want to live on the forest floor because he was afraid of darkness.

Pukeko looked down at  the forest floor and saw the cold damp earth.Then Pukeko said that he did not want to live on the forest floor because he did not want his feet to get wet.

Pipiwharauroa looked around at his family and said that he was  busy building his nest. He also could not go and live on the forest floor.

Tanehokahoka was sad because he  knew that no one would help save his children. Then the Kiwi looked around at the sun and at his family, and the cold dark forest floor. After that the Kiwi agreed to live on the forest floor.

Tanehokahoka and Tanemahuta felt very happy for the kind Kiwi was giving them hope. Tanemahuta felt that he should warn the kiwi that he would lose his beautiful feathers and he has to grow strong legs to survive on the forest floor.

Then Tanemahuta punished those birds who did not listen to him. The Tui had to wear two white feathers to show that he was a coward. The Pukeko had to live in the swamp for ever. Pipiwharauroa was not allowed to build a nest anymore. He had to lay his eggs in other birds nests.

Tanemahuta made the Kiwi to be the  most famous and loved bird of them all. The kiwi lived on the forest floor and looked after Tanemahuta’s children.
